Behind The Lens

Location

photo was taken at a local green house/botanical garden

Time

early evening

Lighting

setting sun gave the perfect light ..it was warm , calm and inviting

Equipment

it was shot with Canon 5D with Helios 40-2 lens ..F/2 , 85mm

Inspiration

the setting and composition

Editing

very little ...just adjusted the white balance to show the magic of setting sun

In my camera bag

..bags lol .. I do use both Canon and Nikon systems ..Canon 5D to use with my collection of old , classic glass ..mainly M42/M39 oldies adapted to EF mount and Nikon D810 with modern lenses ( Tamron 150-600 is my main birding lens ..surprisingly very sharp for the $$ ...24-70 and 11-16 mm for landscapes and wider shots and 70-200mm VRII for anything in between )

Feedback

time of the day , light is your friend ..fast lens ..preferably short tele with close focus capability ..remember ..the longer the focal length , faster the glass and closer you get ..you will be rewarded with magical bokeh :-)
